Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granola
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups honey
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
• 0.5 cups dried fruits (e.g., raisins or cranberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granola, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the melted butter, honey, and brown sugar together until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Gradually mix the milk into the wet ingredients.

Step 6

Slowly fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
